About Us 關於我們
Welcome to Chinese Schema Therapy Academy!
I found this organization to promote Schema Therapy to the Chinese population. As a diaspora in the U.K., I personally feel how important it is to include cultural-adaptation in psychotherapy.
Schema Therapy is a very sophisticated treatment model, with growing amount of evidence to support it's effectiveness in treating different mental illness, or bringing personal growth into average population. I am very enthusiastic in disseminating schema therapy to people who is coming from a collectivistic background.
Schema Therapy is my home inside me. Mindfulness is my home in this world.
I am a Certified Advance Schema Therapist, Supervisor/Trainer from International Society of Schema Therapy.
